Consider use_ok from the test system. Essentially, it should be
require $module; $module.import; pass load $module;
in its caller's context. But now that exportation is lexical, how can
use_ok be implemented? It must divert the symbols installed by import
and have them installed in the caller
What we need to do is find a way to do this at compile time.
One way is to make use_ok a macro.
The whole thing with linkage in Perl 6 is that it's supposed to
happen at compile time so that things are overall saner, but that it
can happen at runtime if we really really mean it.

I'd like to see a nice interface to scopes in general. That is, we
would have a scope object which would provide access to all the
lexical scopes and the package
